I sampled on years ago, but never owned one. Although I don't have a lot of experience with the machine, I can give you an overview of what it does.
The VS upholstery machine generates a head of foam and the foam gets brushed across the fabric. Next the foam gets vacuumed from the upholstery. It's a low moisture approach for sure. And low moisture on upholstery can be a good thing, especially if you're dealing with moisture sensitive fabrics. The unit actually checks off two important boxes - (1) low-moisture, and (2) agitation.
It doesn't seem like these machines ever made a big splash in the industry. But I don't personally have enough experience with the machine to really say whether it's a worthwhile machine or not. If you can find a good deal on one, you may want to pick up one and give it a whirl.
